Unlike the traditional version of this wagon, the panel variant only has one trim. It is a two seater vehicle with ample cargo space. One can expect to find steel wheels, cruise, air conditioning and a keyless entry when they opt for this wagon. Inside the accessories are powered, the passenger seat folds flat and OnStar is available. There is also the audio system that boasts six speakers, CD/MP3, satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack.

Even the safety equipment on the Chevrolet HHR Panel Wagon is limited. The vehicle comes with antilock brakes, stability control, traction control, side curtain airbags and OnStar. There are no optional safety features even on the passenger wagon sibling.
